When students are lined up, quiet, and showing body control:

Check for Understanding:

Call on 3-5 students to answer/demonstrate:

• What’s a skill that we can use with our feet and a ball?
• How do we know which foot is our favorite foot to control the ball with?
• What is a move we can do to get our heart pumping harder?
• Why is it important to work well together during PE class?

PLAY at Home:

Find a ball at home that you could practice with. If a ball is not available, roll up some paper or a rag and put tape around it to make a practice ball. Try kicking and trapping the ball.

Celebratory Closure:

Call out in a celebratory voice: Next time we’ll continue trying to improve your ball control with your feet!

Repeat after me:

• Moving to-ge-ther. [repeat]  Moving together!
• Makes us be-tter! [repeat] Makes us better!
